Trusting and Up - thanks so much for checking in. I'm sitting here now while the kids do their homework and then get ready to go. Once again, I find myself hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.
It has been a rough day for me. A couple of times at work, I had to try and collect myself. While I don't feel as bad as the initial bomb - this is pretty close for me. This woman's husband cheated on her, walked out on her and her children, and married the OW. She stopped talking to people who continued to have a friendship with him because they were disloyal. How can she reconcile what she is doing with my H? She wasn't a casual friend, either. We traveled together and spent a great deal of time together. I am suffering the same disbelief that I did a year ago - just not believing that this is happening.
I also am struggling with my kids involvement. They love this woman - they think she is cool (they don't know about her involvement with H yet). I don't want them to accept her, but I also don't want them to have tension about her. I don't want them to love her - I actually want them to hate her, but if she is going to be a part of their lives, I want it to be a positive relationship because that is in their best interest.
